Bowl with stylized clouds

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Bowl with stylized clouds by Pablo Picasso. Gray ceramic bowl, visible from the front at an angle with the rim facing the upper edge. The bowl is decorated on the outside with eight stylized cloud shapes outlined in black. The clouds are irregularly shaped and have inner swirls; one cloud is above and centered on the rim; three on each side; and one centered on the bottom. The bowl's base is visible as a circular depression surrounded by a raised ring. The background is gray with the bowl casting a slight shadow on the surface below.
